Shakedown thru The Wheel!
The Shakedwon and Lost sailor>Saint O alone put it on the all timer shortlist but that WHEEL!! Holy god! The opening with the Garcia delay effect
...
used to perfection is like whale sounds spreading out across the oceans of the world. Have never heard another one quite like it that intros with such a subliminally perfect aurora borealis effect. Perfection. Brent helps throughout. God love ya…. Thank you

Man 'O Man
I have the record.....cut in at the very start of Shakedown and I believe it cuts off during Wharf Rat....Nevertheless, this is a SICK show...my fav Shakedown
...
I was at merriweather and NYE '84, bit this tops 'em all for me. The 2nd sI wasn't there, but this 2nd set gives me a theatrical vibe....vocals,... 1st Never Trust a Woman and it just freakin' rocks/smashes. The jam after....everything...this d, the money" the GD with Brent.....this mix would convert anyone who never really was we to the Dead before....I have been loving this show since I bought the record in '84 in Greenwich Village....I wouldn't a note.....*just one little pica: Jerry's guitar in Jackstraw needs a boost in da mix.....That's all I gotta say 4 dat. Peace out you exceptional music enthusiasts....

Second-set nuggets: Wheel, Good Time, Spanish Jam
The recording of the first song has problems. The sound improves a minute or so into Jake Straw, but with Jerry’s guitar mostly inaudible. This is corrected
...
in the second song. There are decent versions of most first-set songs, with good keyboard work from Brent (I wish he was playing acoustic piano...). Jerry and the whole band give us a strong Althea. Browned Eyed Women is spliced with the Aud in several places. China Cat>IKYR is solid, but nothing special for this period. In the second set, Bob gets to be annoying by the end of St. of Circumstance, but the Wheel is a nice surprise as the followup. The Wheel cooks, particularly the jam at the end, and folds neatly into a rare Brent vocal, Good Times Blues. This was the very first performance. It was played 10 times after this in ’81, 7 times in ’82, and only two or three times a year after that. Growing out of the space jam is the venerable old Spanish Jam, resurrected from the late ‘60 and played a few times in 1981. The space jam is actually based on Spanish Jam before it gets into it proper, and this is great version. LISTEN TO THIS if nothing else from this show. Don’t listen to Truckin’, though. Bob is very sloppy on vocals, and not paying attention. (If listen to a lot of shows from this summer, Bob seems to be having some problems.) The band gets down to business again with Wharf Rat, with a solid Jerry vocal and some great solo work. Nice jamming in Sugar Magnolia, though we have the same problem with audio that we have in the very first song, with Jerry’s guitar at low volumes in spots.

25 years ago today
ah, yes. i've had cassettes, then the semi-passable sbd that was posted on gdlive several years ago. this recording is "the best," though a phat fob
...
would steal the show. let it grow->china->rider to close first set? sign me up. sure, there are some lyrical jumbles, but i'll take it. this is the blending of two eras, taking the best from both. there's that laid back '79 funk groove blending with the soon to be raunchy mid-80s raunch. shakedown notes are jammed but well thought out. as others have mentioned, the interplay is astounding: everyone is listening to everyone else. impressive chops all around. as all have said, the pre-drums wheel is dreamy. this is the perfect vessel in which to time travel on this rainy coastal day. love it, love it, love it. peace.

If I were ever let into the vaults at Club Dead, I would proceed immediately to this show and abscond with the reels no matter what the legal repercussions.
...
The second set from "The Wheel" through the drums has a special quality of thoughtful playing, with Jerry and Brent obviously listening to each other, that I have not yet found in another 2nd set.

Post-Wheel Jam
Indeed, this was widely available on vinyl and most tapes that I have heard of this show are that recording. This show is notable for the end-of-Wheel
...
jam. IMO, this is one of the best non-spaced out jams (think Playin or Lonesome and a Long. . .) that I have heard. I don't know if the whole show is worth the download and burn, but definitely keep the wheel. My rating is based on the jam.
